Preorder the Amnesia Fortnight 2012 Special Edition!

Recommended Posts

Ever since the Humble Bundle ended, we've been wanting to put Amnesia Fortnight 2012 back on sale. But we wanted to wait until we could do it in the coolest possible way, and we think we figured out how: a newly-designed Special Edition boxed set, with an individual Collector's Edition signed slipcase for each game.

The set includes all five games, the three bonus prototypes, an AF2012 soundtrack, and a Blu-ray copy of the full 2 Player Productions documentary. We are really excited about it, and we think it's a great artifact to commemorate our first-ever public AF.

This is a preorder, however you get a digital download code immediately after buying!

Are there any changes to the documentary in terms of extra content, extra polish etc.? (Not that I'm criticizing the quality of the original versions! )

Are they rolled into one big video, or still by day?

I did notice some subtitles in the 2PP trailer video, that I don't remember in the original versions.

I'm on the fence right now. Since I have all the content, there is nothing driving me to buy it, apart from the support to DF (for which I've done more than my part recently!) and the amazing covers, so extra "never seen before content" may sway me!

Information on what full documentary means as others have requested truly would be awesome.

Was a final episode created and the Humble Bundle folks just never let it free?

I rewatched that final day and the "Well, we created a game!" *high five* and then that team backs up as the lights go off actually feels like a conclusion if this was a documentary TV series that aired on TV.

It'd be the kind of thing where people would be "Can we get the Reunion Special?" like pretty much every reality show that wasn't say a competition has done, but sometimes they don't even give you one. They just leave it at a conclusion without the followup.

This is pretty cool, I just hope potential new buyers will realize the games really are prototypes with 15-30 minutes of gameplay each, before shelling out $45 for them. The documentary (which is pretty awesome) is the real meat and potatoes here in my opinion.

I kinda wish we could get the Blu-Ray separate for less money. I mean, I already have all the games after all.

Yeah, but...you already have the documentary videos too, don't you? Hm, except if you have a slow internet connection, perhaps. In that case I can see then why the Blu-Ray might be enticing on its own.

Yeah, but I'd like the documentary on hard copy Blu-Ray, with the bonus footage. Plus I'd like one of those signed slip cases.

Realistically, I don't think subtracting the game disc would make a huge difference to the purchase price. The real thing you're paying for on the boxed version is the artists' time in designing the box and sleeves, the time to plan and execute the physical version, manufacture the box, generate enough orders to justify the minimum order we have to print, etc. The cost of subtracting a regular non-Blu-ray DVD (which is what the game disc is, as opposed to the documentary Blu-ray) isn't a huge cost.

Plus, each box comes with a code where you can download all the games and documentary anyway, so we'd either have a situation where a boxed version gets you different stuff than the code gets you, which is weird, or we'd have to add additional categories of Humble Bundles. And on top of all that, there are already seven different options for the box you buy, because of all the different slipcases, and adding even more variants to the store page just starts getting to a point of customer-facing choice complexity that probably isn't worth it.

That's probably a much more longer answer than you wanted or needed! But it's the kind of consideration we have to put into stuff like this when we're spending a bunch of money manufacturing physical goods.

Still, knowing what 2PP has done would be awesome.

But I'm not saying we HAVE to know... that's all at your discretion.

They're working on the final episode still actually! It'll be included.

Confirmed! We just shot the final component of this episode (a roundtable talk with Tim & all the project leads) yesterday. It went great and I'll be cutting the final episode together over the next few days. In the end, I think it ultimately benefitted from taking place so long after the end of the fortnight. It's given the leads enough time to process the experience without being too long ago to remember and comment upon properly. I think it'll be worth the wait.
